I’le have
my celler lockt, no school kept there,
Nor no discovery.
I’le turn my drunkards,
Such as are understanding
in their draughts,
And dispute learnedly
the whyes and wherefores,
To grass immediatly,
I’le keep all fools,
Sober or drunk,
still fools, that shall know nothing,
Nothing belongs
to mankind, but obedience,
And such a hand
I’le keep over this Husband.

Altea:
He will fall again,
my life he cryes by this time,
Keep him from
drink, he has a high constitution.
[Enter Leon.]
Leon:
Shall I wear my new sute Madam?
Margarita:
No your old clothes,
And get you into
the country presently,
And see my hawks
well train’d, you shall have victuals,
Such as are fit
for sawcy palats Sir,
And lodgings with
the hindes, it is too good too.
Altea:
Good Madam be
not so rough, with repentance,
You see now he’s
come round again.
Margarita:
I see not what I expect to see.
Leon:
You shall see Madam, if it shall please your Ladyship.
Altea:
He’s humbled,
Forgive good Lady,
Margarita:
Well go get you
handsom,
And let me hear
no more.
Leon:
Have ye yet no
feeling?
I’le pinch
ye to the bones then my proud Lady.
[Exit.
Margarita:
See you preserve
him thus upon my favour,
You know his temper,
tye him to the grindstone,
The next rebellion
I’le be rid of him,
I’le have
no needy Rascals I tye to me,
Dispute my life:
come in and see all handsom.
Altea:
I hope to see
you so too, I have wrought ill else.
[Exeunt.
[Enter Perez.]
Michael Perez:
Shall I never
return to mine own house again?
We are lodg’d
here in the miserablest dog-hole,
A Conjurers circle
gives content above it,
A hawks mew is
a princely palace to it,
We have a bed
no bigger than a basket,
And there we lie
like butter clapt together,
And sweat our
selves to sawce immediately,
The fumes are
infinite inhabite here too;
And to that so
thick, they cut like marmalet,
So various too,
they’l pose a gold-finder,
Never return to
mine own paradise?
197] Why wife I say, why Estifania.
Estifania [within]:
I am going presently.
Michael Perez:
